Tragedy Strikes

It pains me greatly to say this, guys, but i'm giving an update rather than leaving you all in the dark.

Our founder, GingaDreamer has pretty much disappeared, she hasn't been answering her phone and i haven't been able to find anyone who has been in contact with her. Whatever she's going through, i hope that we can all pull together and support her through this time.

In the mean time, I welcome your opinions on possible things we should do for the contests.
Wait for her to return before closing any contests/ starting new ones
Nominate a winner on our own and start/carry new contests

Unfortunately I can't promise the same prizes she can. I still want to give this cosplay community the attention it deserves. Is being a part of the community and participating in contests still fun even without prizes? What are your thoughts?
What if the first place prize is journal interview on you and your work where we get to know you and what you do as a cosplayer, hopefully spreading the word about your talent and encouraging the community aspect of this cosplay community?

I eagerly await everyone's thoughts.
